on FB after the first republican primary debate and jumped on the Fiorina bandwagon. Of course then once Trump was the nominee, he STFU about Trump and got in line.

I remembered that though and he was running for reelection. Two days before election day, I scrolled all the way back to his rant, commented on it and shared it! That got me unfriended but a bunch of local people saw it. We're in Idaho so he won easily anyway.

I don't think I'm blocked or anything, so I might be able to smoke him again. He deleted the never Trump rant, but we have a lot of mutual friends on FB, so I can post this with comments about how right he was all along about Trump somewhere where he'll see it..

She states that Trump is “destructive to our republic”. That is clearly the case. She is not an idiot and she recognizes that fact. That doesn't make her some kind of hero, that simply makes her right in this instance. It's sad that this makes her notable among Republicans. But I credit her with expressing her view during the current political climate of Republicans groveling in front of Trump.

Beyond that, she remains a Repubican, so there that is.

After dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination in 2016, Fiorina said she did vote for Trump in 2016, citing her disapproval of then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, but since then she has been "bitterly disappointed." But when asked whether she would vote for Trump in next year's presidential election, Fiorina did not rule out voting for him again.

"It depends who the Democrats put up," she said.
